Hi @r3d3nvy,
What is the actual temperature in the freezer compartment?
Looking at the schematic you posted, there is no evaporator fan in the unit so there may be two ways that the compartments are being cooled.
i). If there are vents inside of each compartment (usually at the back), this means that there is an evaporator unit in the freezer compartment at the back behind a panel and cooling the refrigerator compartment relies on the cold air from the freezer compartment “falling down” into the refrigerator compartment, via a chute between the two compartments, to cool it down. Cold air falls, hot air rises.
ii). If there are no vents in either compartment then the sealed system refrigerant pipes are routed through the walls of the cabinet and the compartments are being cooled that way
The preset freezer and refrigerator temperatures in most domestic refrigerators is -18°C (0°F) and 4°C (38°F)
Is the compressor running continually trying to drive down the temperature or does it stop occasionally for a while and then restart ?
If it stops and starts, it may be a faulty thermostat, stopping the compressor because it thinks that the correct temperature has been reached. When the temperature rises again, (doors being opened and cool air being lost etc) the compressor is restarted. The thermostat’s temperature range may have shifted so that it cuts off sooner than it should.
If the compressor is running continually, it may be a sealed system problem i.e. lack of refrigerant, faulty compressor etc. Is the compressor getting too hot to touch?

we got the unit second hand maybe 4 years ago from a friend. i assume they had it for at least another 3-4 years.
